(±)-BAY 41-4109 is a heteroaryldihydropyrimidine with antiviral activity.1 It inhibits hepatitis B virus (HBV) replication in HepG2.2.15 cells (IC50 = 202 nM) without affecting cell growth. (±)-BAY 41-4109 (25 mg/kg) reduces viral replication and viral load in a humanized mouse model of HBV infection.
